§ Sir J. SIMONAs I promised the hon. Member for Westhoughton (Mr. Rhys Davies) in reply to his supplementary question on the 17th of February, I am making inquiries regarding the response to the League of Nations appeal. As regards the attitude of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on the same day to another question by the hon. Member for Westhoughton.
§ Earl WINTERTONWill the right hon. Gentleman consider publishing a White Paper showing the extent to which it has been possible to help the sufferers from this terrible calamity, by the joint efforts of the Powers?
§ Sir J. SIMONI will consider the suggestion of the Noble Lord, with pleasure, but I do not think that I can give an undertaking.
§ Mr. MAXTONCan the Leader of the House say when the House will have a better opportunity of discussing the whole matter than by question and answer across the Floor of the House?
